0 stars if I could. Bought a faulty (not to mention overpriced) surface igniter, called back five minutes later after installing, of course they didn’t stand behind their part. Go to Grainger instead. Same (working) part, half the price.

I will always call Hoffmans for my air and heat needs. They were out to my daughters house that day and fixed it. It was right before the weekend storm with below zero temps the next day. They saved my daughter and grandbabies. I could never thank them more.
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear that we could help! Thank you for the kind review.

Got a quote over the phone. Everything was explained thoroughly. Dakota, my technician arrived and on time, was very professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t try to upsell or change anything. He did a great job. We can already tell the difference since the ducts and vents were cleaned. Would recommend an use Hoffman again in the future.
Response from the owner:Happy to hear you had a pleasant experience using Thomas Hoffmann!

Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear you had a great experience, Sam! Thank you for the review, and thank you for your business.
Your service technician was very professional and knowledgeable. And did not appear to try to give me bogus information. I truly appreciate his honesty because several other companies did not appear to be honest, obviously wasn’t honest, my gut feeling told me they were not honest and tried to get me to spend $10,000 for a problem that was much simpler to fix. I look forward to you servicing all my properties, and possibly those of the rest of my family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and great review! We appreciate your support.
The Importance of Regular Furnace Service: When and Why.
When left unserviced, it can suddenly stop working and leave you and your family in the cold. In addition, it can be a health hazard. Furnace maintenance can reveal a carbon monoxide leak. This potentially deadly problem can be detected before the situation becomes serious.
Carbon monoxide exposure can lead to headaches, nausea, dizziness, and death. An estimated 500 individuals die each year, and another 15,000 are hospitalized from exposure to carbon monoxide.
Poor furnace maintenance can also cause your energy bills to rise as it will run less efficiently and work harder to heat your home.
What Is Involved In Furnace Maintenance?
Your furnace can’t fulfill the manufacturer’s promises without professional service. If your heater needs to be serviced, repaired, or replaced, our certified and licensed technicians at Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating will ensure that your heating system is running in peak condition, resulting in a more satisfying comfort level and at lower monthly costs.
When you schedule a service call, one of our HVAC technicians will perform the following:
Inspection of the condensation drain for any obstructions
Inspection of electrical connections
Test voltage system components to prevent future failures
Lubricate any moving parts
Check thermometer settings
After our technician has inspected your furnace, we’ll recommend a few things that you can do to keep it running smoothly. One of the most important things is to change your air filter at least every 3 months. When the filters are congested, it puts a strain on your system and affects your indoor air quality.
